Acknowlding that you are not an expert is not an excuse for not reading books, [Quoted] looking at web sites, searching the google.com archives, etc. No I don't criticize those that make an honest effort.

When you misuse terms you must accept the responsibility for the responses you [Quoted] get. And the responses you saw but didn't like were a direct result of your [Quoted] misuse of the word database.

BTW: I am very familiar with the framework you are using. That does not change [Quoted] my opinion. Proceed at your own risk as the framework assumes that the person [Quoted] using it understands Oracle architecture and concepts and as you seemingly acknowledge you haven't time to study either.
